In an unprecedented turn of events, Moscow is currently in the throes of a coup. The situation has escalated rapidly, with Yevgeny Prigozhin, the owner of the Wagner private military contractor, leading an armed rebellion against Russia’s defense minister, Sergei Shoigu.

Prigozhin, known for his close ties to the Kremlin, has accused the Russian government of lying about the war in Ukraine and has called for a rebellion to oust the military leadership. This has led to a significant domestic crisis for President Vladimir Putin, who has vowed to crush the uprising.

The rebellion has already seen the seizure of key military installations in Rostov-on-Don, a strategic command center for the war in Ukraine. This has led to a significant increase in military activity within Moscow, with numerous military vehicles being spotted throughout the city.

The Kremlin has responded swiftly, ordering the arrest of Prigozhin and starting a legal investigation against the Wagner Group. The Russian president has referred to the rebellion as an ‘armed mutiny’ and has promised to take decisive action against it.

This internal conflict comes at a time when Russia is already under significant international pressure due to its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. The coup attempt has added another layer of complexity to the situation, with potential implications for the balance of power within Russia and its foreign relations.
